DropSort: spam-call triage digest

An AI call screener that sends a daily digest of who called and what mattered

Problem

Scam and sales calls keep piling up; some people build their own bots to answer and waste the callers' time, but regular users won't self-host and lack a daily view of which calls were junk versus worth calling back, so they either miss real calls or keep getting interrupted.

Solution

A call-forwarding service with a virtual number: AI answers unknown calls, classifies spam/scam/genuine in real time, and uses different scripts; after each call it produces a transcript, summary, and callback suggestion, then sends a daily digest. Users can take over from their phone or train the allowlist anytime.

Users

Freelancers, small merchants, and remote workers who get a high volume of unwanted calls

MVP

Forward calls to a virtual number; AI answers with simple silence/conversation policy; record and transcribe calls into summaries; email a morning call digest; one-tap allowlist or block

Revenue

Subscription by included minutes or a pro one-time plan; revenue share with a VoIP provider on call minutes

Why now

Voice AI latency and transcription are now good enough, and self-built examples show the demand; indie devs can assemble an MVP on Twilio-type APIs without carrier deals
